A gold mine has two elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 6 feet per second. The elevator for the miners descends 16 feet per second. One day, the equipment elevator begins to descend. After 28 seconds, the elevator for the miners begins to descend. What is the position of each elevator relative to the surface after another 14 seconds? At that time, which elevator is deeper?

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached graph shows the depth of the elevators with respect to the time the miners' elevator started.

After 14 more seconds, the positions are ...

  equipment: -6(42) = -252 feet relative to the surface

  miners: -16(14) = -224 feet relative to the surface

The equipment elevator is deeper.

complete the steps to find the area of the trapezoid.

area of rectangle = 256   square units

area of triangle 1 = 24  square units

area of triangle 2 = 16  square units

area of triangle 3 =   96 square units

area of trapezoid = 120  square units
